  • Abstract
    Laser tests performed on a prototype chip to validate new SEU-hardened storage cell designs revealed unexpected latch-up and single-event upset phenomena. The investigations that identified their location show the existence of a topology-dependent dual node upset mechanism. Design solutions are suggested to avoid its occurrence
